Iranian media reported on Saturday that the Revolutionary Guard has enforced restrictions on maritime navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, in response to Israel intensifying its airstrikes on Lebanon.
Meanwhile, U.S. Vice President JD Vance stated in an interview with Fox News that there is "no evidence of Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz."
These developments unfold amid international anticipation of the U.S.-Iranian understanding's trajectory, following a framework agreement that ended the war and opened the door for broader negotiations, while the issues of Lebanon, the Strait of Hormuz, and nuclear guarantees remain critical tests of both parties' seriousness.
